Promotions slow for growing woman faculty
By Marsha Johnston
Assistant City Editor
Although there has been a steady increase in women among the lower ranks of faculty, it has been difficult for women to advance to professorships, said Barbara Pearson, director of equal opportunity and affirmative action.
A lack of qualified women was cited by John Marburger, dean of the College of Letters, Arts and Sciences, as a reason for the discrepancy. Pearson attributed it to current laws against mandatory retirement.
"Because of the antiretirement age laws Congress has passed, you have higher paid faculty staying on longer. They said when those laws were passed that they would adversely affect women and minorities," Pearson said.
"'If you have a faculty member in his 40s, it will be 25 or 30 years until he retires."
Data from the Office of Affirmative Action said that from 1969 to 1975, the number of female professors and associate professors in the three divisions of the College of Letters, Arts and Sciences rose from 15 to 17. The number of female assistant professors during the same period rose from 10 to 16.
The total amount of women among "ladder rank" faculty (professors, associate and assistant professors) increased in the College of Letters, Arts and Sciences from 25 in 1969 to 61 in 1978.
A memo from Barbara Gardner, director of the Joint Educational Project, showed a marked increase in female assistant professorships (from 12.6% to 20.4%) and instructors (from 18.4% to 35.6%) among the general faculty since 1971. Her computations were based on data issued from the Office of Institutional Studies.
"I would assume that the discrepancy (between the number of women professors and associates and assistants) is due to increased affirmative action measures and they (the university ^re hiring young women right out of school," said Leslie Minet, resea?th assistant for the Faculty Senate.

Student community representatives will assist security officers in campus patrol
Representatives from the student community have established a force to assist Campus Security in patrolling residence halls, the bookstore and food service areas.
A proposal to add a representative has been tentatively approved by Michael McCarthy, assistant director of auxiliary services.
The student force, which presently consists of ten members, patrols six posts from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.. They are Cardinal Gardens; Century Apartments; Troy Hall; North Complex (Elisabeth VonKleinSmid Residence Hall, College-University, Birnkrant); South Complex (Marks Hall, Marks Tower, Trojan Hall) and student community apartments
(Founders, Twin Palms, Portland West, Trojan Heights and Troyland)
"We tried to pull representatives from other complexes to compensate but it didn't work, McCarthy said. "It is a necessity for one more person, especially With all the buildings on Adams Boulevard we own (and lease). We will just get the money from savings."
Representatives patrol the halls, garages and grounds to make sure fire exits are closed, windows locked and no one is loitering who shouldn't be.
"We aren't trying to be Campus Security," McCarthy said, "we are just their operating ear. Campus Security is still the authorized university representa-
tive. If there is a problem we will get Campus Security to assist. With our men on foot patrol we feel we get more coverage. And because they're not in uniform they are less intimidating."
Michael Hearn, coordinator of security and loss prevention, said he judges each prospective employee individually. He looks for an employee with the ability to function with students and who has security experience. "I basically look for applicants from a people-type business. There are lots of security types but they don't all deal with people," Hearn said.
Another quality important to Hearn is education. The minimum requirement is a high (continued on page 2)

AN EYE ON CAMPUS
Students, faculty use schedules to organize their time
By Amy Alpem
Feature Focus Editor
Life used to be easy. Your mom kept track of your dentist appointments, your dad always made sure that the oil in your car was changed at the proper intervals and teachers reminded you at least five times about upcoming papers and tests.
Those days are gone.
Now, our days are filled with an endless amount of organizational chores.
It seems many students and faculty1, (more than you might suspect} have found a way to alleviate some of the nervous tension brought about by unusually hectic lifestyles.
What they do is make schedules. Some people's schedules are nothing more than a bunch of jotted down notes of their most important appointments that day. But other people get much more specific in their schedules.
It seems if they could estimate the time it takes for traffic signals to change or the amount of time they would spend in line at the Deli, they would incorporate this into their schedule.
To these people, the schedule becomes as important as a Bible is to a priest. They
follow it to the word, and will let nothing cross the path of this regimented time table.
While there continues to be a big difference in the complexity of these schedules, they all have one thing in common—they are private. They rate just behind diaries in
material that people would least like others to read.
I can remember an incident in high school where the student sitting next to me was writing out a schedule of the things he had to do the next day.
As much as he covered the information
he was writing, I managed to see enough to realize that he was writing out a list.
When the teacher came over to see what he was writing, the student refused to show the teacher the paper.
The student was so determined to keep
his list to himself that he called the teacher's bluff and left the class rather than show him what he had written on his schedule.
I can remember another time whan I was working as a hostess for a restaurant. I had one customer accidentally drop his schedule on the counter as he was handing me his money. He was so embarrassed that he left without waiting for his change.
People make out lists for other reasons, also. One girl I know writes down what she wears everyday.
"That way, I will never wear the same outfit in front of the same people," she said.
Production companies never pass up the opportunity to profit from people's peculiar habits, and this is no exception. Various note pade are now on sale with titles on each page like "Dumb things I gotta do." What will they think of next?
